    Why doesn’t Trump just let them pick the topics like he agreed to originally? He’s terrified they’ll talk about how he tried to murder joe at the last debate and then got hospitalized

    That’s exactly what he’s doing. The mods choose the topic, that’s what they agreed to

    Oh dear. The debate commission has agreed to mute the microphones. Trump's temper tantrum tweets will be comedy gold.

    But are crazy conspiracy theories a topic for foreign policy debates?

    Sounds good.

    Saves America the SHAME of seeing the Office of the Presidency denigrated by Donald Trump (A RUDE IMBECILE who never should have been elected in the first place).

    That way, America won't have to sit through another Crapathon (like Trump's Embarrassing Performance in the First Debate).

    If Trump Weasels Out (like a Whining Crybaby) that sounds like a Win/Win for America.

    They are calling his bluff.

    Let us see what that sniveling PANSY decides.

    Probably about 50/50 that he will pull out.

    I don't know why I reply to people who refuse to read the article. The debate commission chose foreign policy for the subject. She can choose the topics in foreign policy. Not topics unrelated to foreign policy.

    "Stepien also claimed the campaigns had agreed to the third debate being focused on foreign policy."

    That should be easy to prove I would think so why didn't he prove it other than to claim it?

    Once again Trump and gang whining like snowflakes lol

    No, both campaigns agreed to the topic of foreign policy beforehand and now the moderator has decided to change the topic after the agreement was already made.

    That's where we are..... were now subjected to decoding messages ala a tin foil hat wearer. That should be a sign but I'm doubtful any introspection will be had

    Stepian claimed it, so he should release the contract they signed with the debate comission to clear it all up. He should've done it at the exact same time that he claimed it but he didn't .....Surely they signed something

    Shame on you!. The change of debate topics was clearly caused by coronavirus and people who refuse to acknowledge this obvious safety precaution against the superspreader topic are systemic racists and Russian agents who must be cancelled.

    One can definitely tell when we're getting close to election day. The partisanship goes into overdrive and common sense has left the building.

    Foreign policy has been apart of Presidential debates for decades. That we're not having one this time shows that the left is indeed trying to do "whatever it takes" to win. Including acting worse than what they claim their opponent to be.

    No. I don't have to. It was what the commission decided. In fact, it is somewhat customary they have one foreign policy debate

    Yeah this is going to be a circus. I foresee Trump pulling a Mike Pence style of "Thank you for the question, however I would instead like to take my 2 minutes to address this instead". Only he's going to do it Trump style and it's going to be chaos.

    Pence was able to pull that off by being calm and collective and professional about it. I don't foresee Trump being able to remain calm enough to do that as effectively as Pence did unfortunately. Trump just gets way too spun up way too quickly. He did well at his recent town hall and was able to keep his composure for the most part so perhaps he's learning. We'll see.

    It was customary to have 3, trump ruined that
    It was customary not to show up diseased, trump ruined that also. He should **** and be happy if Biden or the moderator are willing to be in the same room as him
